:eek: That sucks!!
I've been nearly written up by the same security guard (on campus) about 3 times... each time I'm like.. oh i dont have my ID on me (im 19 too) .. so he lectures me about that. THen he goes, I'lllet you off this time. but I always remember a face...
(right :rolleyes: ) lol

haha....we dont' do fraternity trips like the mountain excursions and such. Some guys do plan formals in New York City and the Poconos.....I agree axotiger....I could also write a book. Some of the shit that my sisters and I have done is pretty embarassing. But at least we'll never forget it!!!

Thread Not Pulling Through....
 

No pun intended.. lol. I guess this thread is too similar to one that's about worst date. Oh well, I tried.

funny stories y'all have on here...wish I had some to add but im new to the whole greek system...hopefully Ill get to go to some of those frat weekends...

Yeah... just wait, they're fun :D Actually, I went to another date thingy last weekend... or maybe 2 weekends ago. It was a Pi Kap 'Pit Stop' party. The pledges drive around 5 teams of brothers and dates. And there were 7 stops, with different alcohol at each, and you had to drink all of that before you went to the next stop. It was crazy, we got 2nd!!

Well, I have done plenty of fun, crazy AND stupid things. Unfortunately, none of them have occurred at a fraternity/sorority getaway weekend. ;)

Well, since that subject of the thread didn't work out well, share your stories!! I want to make sure that my friends and I aren't the only retarded people out there.... :D

SOUTH CAROLINA DG TO SAVE THE DAY (or at least the thread)!
 

I'm going to my first mountain weekend this weekend, with Sigma Chi. I did a search because I need some cool cooler ideas. Here's a little more of an explanation of what happens:

-Boy asks girl, then they stay together in some sort of lodge/whatever the fraternity decides with a bunch of the other brothers.
-Girl paints a kick@$$ cooler for the boy, and fills it with all sorts of "treats" (use your imagination... what goes in a cooler?!)
-Girl gets to schmooze with other girls and their dates and have just a weekend-long party!

Unfortunately, I can't go the whole time, I have to come back early, and I'm very saddened...

Alpha Chi, what exactly did you fill your cooler with, and did you see any abnormally cool coolers? I'm trying to get some ideas together. And, no, you're not weird. We all do it across SC. I think we need to spread our ideas across the country. I've been to beach weekend before, but never mountain weekend, so I'm SOOO excited! Plus, I actually like the guy, wheras beach weekend I went with a blind date, so it was really akward.

Hey girl.. THANX! Actually, I just got back from a Mountain Weekend with Pi Kappa Phi... we went to Georgia and stayed somewhere in Dehlun... uh, I forget. :D Anyway...

In cooler: bottle of liquor, some beer (it's different for each one, for Lambda Chi's, they had a beer truck with like 18 or so kegs, for Pi Kap you brought all your own stuff), being a jug of water ( for hangovers ), soda to mix with liquor, I brought some granola bars for breakfast if you're up early enough. Then for food, pretzles, doritos, tostitos, cheese dip, salsa, some type of sweet.. aka cookie (i made my date his favortie... u don't need to go that far)... hmmm oh don't forget shot glasses ;). I think that's all I had in there.

Cool Cooler Ideas: Draw their symbol, their name, the fraternity, the date, the function. Or, on the top decorate it like a Jack Daniels Whiskey label.. and instead of Jack daniel's... write "Sigma Chi", then in stead of tennessee Whiskey, write "Mountain Weekend" and write the date.. it's semi hard to do.. but looks awesome. Or find his favorite liquor, and decorate it that way :)

Hope this helps, lemme know how it goes, and I wanna see pictures :) haha. I've got some pictures from Lambda Chi's mountain weekend up on my webpage is you wanna see... just PM me.. or write back on here. When I have time later I'll give some stories about this past weekend and Pi Kap :D

Good Luck

Oh crap, I almost forgot... decorate cups :D (assuming y'all do that)... get mugs, with tops... it's better. And DON'T write anything on the top (u can around it, just not flat in the midle) I learned the hard way my freshman year when i wrote, AXO on the middle of the top in red , and ended up looking like rudolph (red nose)... haha, apparently I hit my nose to the top of the cup when I drink... luckily my date saw and pointed it out to me before we left

Actually, yes.. Our last retreat was a dry event.

I went to 2 fraternities' away weekends back to back at Virginia Beach. This is what happened at the first away weekend...

After the actual formal, my date and I were hanging out with a bunch of other brothers and their dates in one of their rooms. All of a sudden, one of the brothers ran in and told us to go to another room. One of the brothers was really drunk so his brothers started to mess with him. Then one of them got out a razor and actually shaved one of his eyebrows off! He didn't even know what was happening. When one of the girls told him to look in the mirror, he got really pissed off, and started to go after his brothers. When everyone got him to calm down, he had the girl shave off the other eyebrow. It was the running joke the next morning at breakfast.

OMG that's hilarious (it sucks, but it's funny). Oh man, I just thought of another story from a Mountain weekend last year. A bunch of people went skinny dipping in the lak (which i was definitely not up for... .it was FREEZING. it was so cold that the next day I didn't take a shower til noon because I didn't want to take my clothes off...but people were calling Hillaryand I dirty girls, so we went and showered- we ran around for about 2 hours after that with our hair wet so people would know we finally took a shower) anyway, back to the story. They were all jumping off the dock, and one guy jumped on my friend Kiwi and she broke her collar bone! :eek: She of course didn't realize this til the next morning after she had put clothes on, went to bed, and sobered up. :( But she went to the hosptial and was back that night... on percacet.

Hey, just got back. I only was able to stay for one night, though, so I didn't get any pictures. The house was NIIICE. There were 12 of us together in a four-story house with a jacuzzi and pool table.

For the cooler:
I drew a huge Sigma Chi in greek letters and put the rebel flag in it, and on the other side put the Sigma Chi flag. On the top was his name and mountain weekend '02. Around the entire bottom of the cooler I put mountains. I got a lot of compliments, and he really liked it, so I was happy about that. In it, I just put beer and then bought him a lot of chips and cookies and stuff. And of course I made cups!

CarolinaDG,
Cooler sounds nice, I probably would have put a rebel flag on the ones that I've been to (us going to school in SC and all) but the 1st one this year was from Ohio, and then 2 weekends ago was from Florida, then the one in Feb (that got rescheduled due to circumstances back in Oct) is from Florida as well. And I checked out the florida flag, MAN that would hard to draw, I nixed that real quick. LOL. I think I'm just going to make an absolut bottle and put "Abosult PKA" or somthing like that. But he does like Crown Royal, maybe I could (attempt to) draw that on there. hmmmmmm oh well. :)
